Customer Rating: Summary: Timeless comedy Comment: Yet another classic Laurel & Hardy film. Stan has stayed on the trenches in WWI France for many years without realising the war had ended. He finally gets brought home to be met by Oli who feels sorry for him and promises that his wife will cook him a nice meal. However, things don't quite work out that way as Oli's better half doesn't like Stan very much and promptly leaves Oli. Stan also causes Oli to get beaten up in a street-brawl with our favourite supporting actor James Findlayson, and by one of the neighbours. The despondent looks on Oli's face every time things go wrong are just priceless. The movie was also watchable in colour but it doesn't quite seem right or necessary as these movies are more at home in black and white. Customer Rating: Summary: Classic Laurel and Hardy Comment: Another great disc of L&H, if you are a true fanatic then you are probably better off going for the 21 disc box set but this contains the excellent full length film BLOCKHEADS plus the shorts UNACCUSTOMED AS WE ARE, WITH LOVE AND HISSES and SHOULD MARRIED MEN GO HOME? There are also 'colourised' versions of Blockheads and Unnaccustomed on this disc and a booklet with some info about the films.
